`hw` does provide enough information for you to reconstruct a system (in
fact, much more so than `hwconfig` ever did). Sure, it's a bit more
work to interpret. That's what your customer is paying you for.

with due respect:

the dealer (SCO's customer) is paying SCO for something also.

"That's what your customer is paying you for" works in both directions.
"Sure its a bit more work"...to get the hwconfig working,
but..."That's what your customer is paying you for".

End users see dealers as the manufacture
Manufactures see dealers as unimportant middlemen.
dealers get it from both ends at the same time.

end users don't care if the reseller feels comfortable with a new
version, and neither does SCO. But inconsistencies/changes end up
costing the reseller time (aka: money).

Life from a reseller's (SCO's Customer) point of view.

Neener Neener Neener....

Having said that: I understand there are only 30 hours in a day.
Dealers have the same problem, and we appreciate feeling appreciated.
